Sleep is no longer a big issue for us. She is doing much better. She sleeps from 8:30/9-7/7:15. So sleeping 10 hours or sometimes a little longer is wonderful. She still does wake up some nights for a paci but since she falls asleep without one now so I guess she needs it less in the middle of the night. Enough on sleep, I don't want to jinx (however you spell that) her! Napping is going just ok. Some days are good, others, not so much.
Dave and I went skiing last weekend in MD. It was Dave's first time and my first time since we met. He did really well, except for when he took me out getting off the ski lift for the first time. It was my first full day away from Alyssa. I fed her in the morning then was home in time to feed her at night but was without her from like 9-7. I missed her but it was great having a day with just Dave.
She will be 5 months in just 5 days, where has the time gone? Everything now goes straight into her mouth and she is really interested in everything Dave and I are eating. I still can't believe how well she sits up and plays. All of my books I read on baby development say babies will sit up unsupported to play at 6-7 months, 5 if they are early. She isn't even 5 months and has been doing it for weeks! I have a little strong girl :).
I am going to start making Alyssa her bows. They cost like 3-5 dollars per bow to buy and are really cheap and fun to make. I made a few with the little ribbon I got, I need to get some more ribbon soon.
House update: kind of at a standstill. We have decided that spending time with Alyssa and each other is most important right now and the house will get done when it gets done. The kitchen is finished enough to cook in and the bedrooms are livable. We really can't wait to finish it but rushing like we were while having a little baby was just too stressful. Its hard for me since I am very organized and our house is far from it but oh well, somethings gotta give and it can't be time with each other.

well thank goodness you finally posted--I was beginning to feel as if I couldn't get my weekly dose of adorable Alyssa. Glad things are going better with the routines (i'll call it that for jinxing purposes). I hope you guys are doing well. Let me know when your next trip up this way will be! miss u! xoxo

hey...smart smart daughter I raised...u r absolutely right to worry more about time together...houses will come and go...memories with Alyssa will be with you forever...when raising you the one thing I never wanted to have happen was to look back on it all and say "I wish I had spent more time with my kids"...and looking back I feel blessed to have never felt that way and have not regretted that I spent so much time with both of you...
Alyssa is a lucky little one!!...See you Friday!...cant wait!!
LY, Mimi
